![]() I bet you were wondering if I would post any! Here's a portion of my notes with a weird upside down triangle dot symbol (∵) for "because". I don't have Inkbook installed on my main machine (although you can use it on a normal Mac as long as you also have a Wacom tabler), so the notes do need to be in a format they can use. In terms of workflow, I decided to save my notes as a PDF for this round. I also propped the modbook on my sweater so i could use the speaker phone and write at the same time. ![]() I dimmed the lights in 210B (dark on my side) so I could see the monitor. Quirk wise, I did notice that there was some glare issues with the monitor. I think it forced me to print more clearly, and a little larger. Preference wise, I found I liked the calligraphic pen over the regular pencil. Since you are basically handwriting notes, you can write just about anything from graphs and equations to Old Norse runes. The file can be printed as a PDF or saved as text/RTF (I will have to play with that next week).įor note taking, something like InkBook can be useful if your notes are full of weird symbols. You can add tabs for pages or section (and color code). It opens in a format similar to a looseleaf notebook. Inkbookįor note taking, I am using the Inbook app which the company advertises as "Perfect companion for your ModBook". We know that English is possible, but according to InkBook the only other options are French and German (not even Spanish). The other issue is handwriting recognition. I'm not sure how it handles Chinese and other complex scripts, but it's a great start. I'm tempted to see if I can install it on my main Mac as a main reference. What this means is that if you activate the Greek keyboard then 1) any plugged in keyboard will function as it does on other Macs but 2) the Axiotronic keyboard actually SHOWS you the Greek letters. There is standard Mac OS X Unicode support on the Mod Book. Not bad, but it is nice for me to have the working keyboard too since I can type fairly quickly. ![]() It puts you in iPhone mode where you tap one letter at a time. However it means that I have to go through an extra step to activate the pen.įYI - If you don't have a plugin keyboard and you do have an unencrypted Modbook, then you can use the Axiotronic virtual keyboard utility. In some ways, this is a benefit in disguise because I like being able to switch between Typing (e.g. According to Chris Demcheck PGP requires a keyboard with a USB connection. My desktop keyboard is too bulky to travel. The modbook is encrypted with PGP, but PGP needs password input from a keyboard.so a keyboard I requested. Today I took it to a Breeze meeting, and it works fine, but there were some gotchas. Dave has been using his modbook as a sketchpad and has gotten some excellent results, but since I'm not an artist, I thought I would use it as an engineer might to take some notes and add sketches. I just used the Mod Book (like a Tablet PC, but on a Mac) for a meeting, so I thought would write up a few notes before I forgot. At this point, cheesy Latin jokes are as long a tradition as reading Vergil. Still I'm sort of touched that Latin can inspire this much devotion and silliness on the Web. For the record, only 1 person in 20 was able to correctly conjugate hic haec hoc in out Latin historical linguistics seminar. There's a reason why Latin is regarded as one of the great example of memorization with no meaning. Don't know what qui quae quod means? Neither do they. You can also catch the latest Harvard Commencement Latin Salutatories and an ad for the Roman suburb Civitas Angeli (aka Los Angeles).īut the one that shows what most people think of Latin is the Qui Quad Quod rap - which is just the relative clause declension recited as a rap. ![]() If you prefer the classics, you can always catch the Latin grammar lesson from Life of Brian. Let it officially be noted that Latin has arrived on YouTube as well as Wicipedia Latina and no doubt somewhere on Latin Twitter.Īs you might expect, there are plenty of options on YouTube including Pope Benedict XVI and Bella Stellae (aka Bella Stellārum) (cum Lucius Skywalker et Darth Vader) which translates the key confonrtation between Luke and his father as "Nōōōō.n".
